48-port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card with Pluggable SFP Modules 

The 48-port Gigabit Ethernet line card for the Force10 C-Series C150 and C300 with pluggable SFP modules support distances up to 80km over fiber, and pluggable 1000Base-T modules support distances up to 100m over Cat5 UTP. 100Base-FX SFP modules support distances up to 2km, providing a flexible solution for applications spanning the LAN, MAN, and WAN in mixed fiber/copper and mixed speed installations.

This line card provides industry-leading density of up to 384 line-rate, non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE in a single chassis. Additionally, the C-Series ASICs and architecture enables line-rate performance with QoS and Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, and simultaneous L2 switching and IPv4 routing. The intelligence embedded in the line cards allows localized switching, providing very low latency.

Key Features

  • Full line-rate throughput for Ethernet frames from 64 byte to 9,252 byte
    frames on all ports regardless of features enabled
  • Pluggable SFP modules providing support for 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX,
    1000Base-LX, 1000Base-ZX and 1000Base-T interfaces
  • 5 microsecond switching latency under full load for 64 byte frames
  • Per-port status and activity LEDs
